Countach, the ultimate supercar

The video with 1120012 is a great find, Emilio! I love that car. In 2005 I went to Paris to inspect the car for someone else... I will post some pictures in some days.

 

Here I am not sure.

 

1120004 definively was red / black. The silver / red car is another one. Joe, please confirm.

 

Si !!!

 

That's posteriore 140 !!! Exact observation and information as usual.

BTW: also 1120004 has the old style Lamborghini emblem - see attached picture

... and that's Graphicar... always new information.

Next observation: special hood. Normaly there are "closed" metal sheets, here (on 1120004) not. Aftermarket change?

 

It looks to me that the Rosso Granada car of Iran has a normal Bertone badge on the side,
therefore I think that it's not #1120002...

 

I would say probably after market, amongst some other special gadgets...

Amazing! Do we really have to put question marks at every LP400 that is in the ILR?

There a lot to figure out here, I suppose.....but fun it is!

I remember when people were knocking this car about three years ago when it sold at auction for $45 or 48K. Yes the car had issues but at the time I thought it was a deal and still do besides the issues.

 

No question mark at every LP400 and not at every car. In the ILR, a lot of interesting information is gathered. However, the story of some cars has to be changed. The ILR is such a big registry - errors are normal.

Have a look at the ILR site of 1120082 - this one is complete... (posteriore140, many thanks again !!!)

 

Hello:

Emilio: I did not see the blue S but may well have missed it IF it was there: I saw a yellow Mangusta go by a quarter mile away and never saw it again: these big events are like that.

Marcel: I took very few pictures; no time, only Khamsin and Countach but if I took other Lambo shots will post Tuesday.

Best regards,

Marc

 

Has pictured car's chassis number been determined? It was discussed a couple years ago as possibly being 1120004 or 1120010.

Nice catch Brian, license looks like 2003.

Where is it now?

 

The silver car is also pictured in the Marchet & Coltrin Counach book on page 68.
It looks like the car has a brown/cognac interior
Small Italian registration plate front: L85166-TO (Torino?) Turin..
It has a Rodagio sticker right-below on the front window.

Here are two pictures I took of #1120030 when it was in Holland...

Look at the sticker...interior... could it be...??

Only turning signal lenses are different.

Hi Redlambo,

Can I conclude you own this car?
In that case you own an important piece of Countach history,
one of only two with the 6 air vents and has the Paratelli Speciale headrests.
Can you tell us some more about the history of this car?

Cheers,
Marcel

 

With the old style badge, 6 air vents, Paratelli speciale headrests I would be surprised if it wasn't #1120004,
but a confirmation is always nice...

Ciao!
Marcello

 

This is the 1120002 at 1974 Geneva Salon... from the book "Lamborghini The Cars From Sant' Agata Bolognese" by Rob de la Rive Box, pages 168-169.

I'm not 100% but that might be the wing a company is making in original specs.

Michael R. told me they are using his car for display in Monterey next month.

Someone be sure to get pictures since I can't make it this year.
